The Eatery: Possibly at it's peak, this was quite nice with underbrush, older red/black cherry notes, leather. Medium intensity, body, solid 1er cru, but don't have good mental notes.

This was a very nice surprise. Bought over 12 years ago when I was buying up odd bottles will nilly I've never felt the urge to try it until today. It must have been very oaky in its youth, but the oak is now fully absorbed and adds a smooth luxurious texture, and its the spice and minerals that give the wine its character, there's sap and undergrowth and a bit of game, but overall it's beautiful and refined.

Showed very nicely on 2/7/06. Starting off quietly with a nice nose of warm spice and raspberry. Nice full mouth. Developed well during the evening.
